Friday 1st Round (non-UConn games) thread

[BugsyCT]

Gonna be a big day. All the Big East reps in action today.

(Let's save the UConn talk for the chatroom & other pre & postgame threads.)

Owl Nation, let’s ride.

I picked drake in my bracket but Miami -1.5 is insane. Had to jump on that. Miami has a lot of nerd wallet talent.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Ditched the brewery for a juice bar that has the games on. The owner mentioned Andre Jackson, so feeling good about this place.

Love this guide someone on Reddit puts together for every day of the tournament.

 

[BugsyCT]

Xavier underway vs. Kennesaw St.

 

[Ripper32]

Xavier with the game under control. Question will be how much energy they expend. Bench is short.

 

[storrsroars]

Damn, Izzo just threw his center under the bus in the halftime interview.

 

[Ripper32]

That was quick. Don't like the pace for Xavier with short bench.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Jeez KSU already has 2 highlight reel plays in the game. Souley Boum got McGhee'd

What's everyone doing with themselves from 6:30-6:50?

[phillionaire]

xavier looking shaky

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

How in the world is a 9 point lead with 15 minutes left in the first half having a game under control?

 

[Waquoit]

Xavier underway vs. Kennesaw St.

Did someone tell Xavier?

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Xavier hasn’t looked the same since Fremantle went down

 

[Ripper32]

Is anyone at the VCU game? Is it packed?

Love this guide someone on Reddit puts together for every day of the tournament.

Pretty glaring how the #14 seeds are 100-110 in rankings, basically indistinguishable from #15, while #13 seeds are #60-70, similar to #12s.

In other words, getting a #4 instead of a #3 is a massive difference in caliber of opponent.

That’s amazing

 

[Ripper32]

That desperation three by Kennesaw is ominous.

 

[auror]

Xavier's D just not good enough if they're going to go 1/6 from 3 in a half.

 

[Ripper32]

Xavier guards being beaten off the dribble and then it's just breakdowns that ensue to compensate.

 

[REB1094]

Xavier please......................

 

[Ripper32]

Xavier -9 for 2nd half. Hmmm.

 

[kobe]

a-sun team looks just as talented as the little east one. #midmajorbattle
